Meinl B22VTRCH Byzance Vintage 22" Trash China

Explosive Trash China Accents With Dry, Controlled Decay

The Meinl B22VTRCH Byzance Vintage 22" Trash China is a thin B20 bronze cymbal designed for drummers who want fast, explosive accents with a dark, trashy character. Its large 22" size gives the cymbal a broad, dramatic voice, while the thin construction allows it to open quickly and fall away with short sustain.

Deep hand hammering creates a complex, earthy response, and the sandblasted finish softens harsh attack for a drier, more naturally aged feel. Precision cut-outs reduce sustain further and help the cymbal react with an immediate burst of texture, making it useful for dramatic punctuation without leaving excessive wash behind.

Raw centre hammering, lathed edges and a fully lathed underside give the Trash China a controlled spread and smooth stick response. Compared with a more traditional China cymbal, the cut-out design produces a quicker, more fractured attack that suits modern grooves, heavy accents and expressive effects work.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Byzance Vintage 22" Trash China is ideal for drummers who want a large effects cymbal with explosive response, dark trashiness and short, controlled sustain.
